Olena Gallery

Located in the heart of Hāwī in North Kohala on Hawaiʻi’s Big Island, ‘Ōlena Gallery serves as a dedicated showcase for Big Island–based artists. With a mission to provide a welcoming and authentic space for local creators to exhibit and sell their works, the gallery is deeply rooted in the island’s artistic and cultural community. The gallery’s name and identity are inspired by the ‘ōlena flower (turmeric), symbolising creativity, growth and a connection to the land. The logo itself—a stylised depiction of the flower—was designed and painted by Honolulu-based artist Susan Grant, lending the gallery both a custom visual signature and a tribute to Hawaiʻi’s natural heritage.

"Ka Maluhia" Serenity at Hapuna Beach

"Ka Maluhia" Serenity at Hapuna Beach

This tranquil oil painting, subtitled "Serenity at Hapuna Beach," is characterized by its balanced composition and soft light. The foreground features a gentle curve of pale sand, which meets the clear, turquoise water in soft, rhythmic waves. A tall, slender palm tree cuts a diagonal line across the right, framing the rugged, dark-rock coastline that stretches into the mid-ground. The Impressionistic style, with its visible brushstrokes and soft illumination, effectively captures the serenity and peaceful, breezy atmosphere of the beach.
